Decorating your property for holidays is always optional, but some people push for it.

This woman just moved into her home when a neighbor came knocking with unwanted advice.

She was expecting a warm welcome, but got a lecture instead about how she needed to decorate to “fit in.”

Her husband got creative and came up with a solution that was both hilarious and unforgettable.

We decorate in the neighborhood …. Ok merry chralloween

This happened the first Christmas after my late husband and I built and moved into our house.

It was early December, the first week around the 6th.

One of the old rude and nosey neighbors knocked on my door.

I had not had the chance to meet anyone from the area since I was still fairly new.

So I thought she was coming to introduce herself.

This woman got a lecture from the neighbor, demanding she decorate for Christmas.

I was wrong.

It was a lecture about the holidays.

She said that everyone in the area decorates with lights and stuff for Christmas.

And that I had to decorate for Christmas so I could fit into the area. It was crap.

Her husband got mad, but maliciously complied.

I told my husband what had happened, and he was so annoyed.

He was a creative person, and I could see the wheels turning behind his eyes.

He said, “Ok, let’s go out and get some decorations for that old witch.”

And we did. A whole bunch of clearance items from Halloween.

The whole works: blow-up pumpkins, bats, everything you can think of.

They decorate the outside of their house with Halloween decorations for Christmas.

That’s what we did.

A huge Halloween display, complete with pumpkin hang-up lights all over the front of the house.

She got what she wanted. We decorated. We did get an angry letter from her.

It kinda became a tradition that I have been doing for the last 8 years, complete with a skeleton Christmas tree.

His name is Billy Bones. He has a party hat instead of a star.

Lol. That’s funny. Let’s see the reactions of other people to this story.

Here’s a similar story from this user.

This person shares quite the same experience.

You aren’t the only one, says this person.

Finally, this user gives a short but sweet remark.

Sometimes, the best traditions are born from a little bit of defiance.
